We run through three stories that say a lot about where tech and games are headed, from GTA 6 hype and Rockstar’s production plans to an unexpected Apple and Meta thaw. We also look at how a San Francisco set zombie game promotion triggered backlash and what that teaches developers about using real locations.
• GTA 6 timeline talk and why expectations are sky high
• Rockstar scaling staff and engine changes to speed development
• Vice City and Leonida built from Miami style influences
• Rumours of less restrictive missions and more flexible gameplay
• Criminal profile system that changes police responses
• Celebrity radio playlists and how to use star power well
• Apple opening the door to Meta AI and why rivals should notice
• AI competition with China plus the need for sensible guardrails
• Tenderloin zombie game backlash and a developer’s pullback strategy
